Putting it another way:
1) Slam the throttle and redline the car
2) Look in the mirror
If your face looks like this=>
, it is the real deal

.................(2) My bro's car that this was supposed to go into still needs the 6spd installed (and we're waiting on parts, so that option isn't going to work.) Haven't driven his car in a while anyway, and it used to have a jwt, and it has a 3.5--so the butt dyno wouldn't work too well (4500 rpms is where that thing takes off w/o an ecu.)
I'll have my brother open the thing up next time he goes home (the ECU is at my parents' place in VA.)

if he ripped off myself and another guy, i dont see why he would not rip you off either.
hurry up and get that thing opened up, take some pics and post it up. If it is a fake one, we can all get this guy arrested by contacting a company that deals with scammers....

Here is a picture of my ts ecu opened up when i sold it. You can see the daughter board. Mine also had yellow screws. So i'm not sure if thats what ts does. Even if it's an authentic ts ecu you should find out if it works and if it is indeed a manual ecu from a 96.

i think the ECU he has might be legit. here is what i think happened.......
the f@g decided to sell his ECU and when he saw a lot of interest in the item with many people willing to paypal right away, he decided to scam the rest for quick easy money. how in the hell he suddenly had a few extra ECU's laying around? and why would anyone have multiple ECU's ??

So, I'll let you know when I am able to find out if this thing is really a TS, but it is irrelevant to the fact that the other guys were undoubtedly scammed. How's your progress in getting your money back? Are you guys going to bother filing a police report to see if you'll have any luck getting criminal charges brought against this guy?

well right now im waiting for my bill to come in the mail, and i will refute my CC Charges, then after i done with it, i will contact the PD in his area to get his *** arrested. I found out that if i report him to this company (Internet Fraud Ivestigation) called IC3 from the FBI they will get him arrested and put in jail. I have all proof of not getting what i ordered and he will pay for it.
open up your TS ecu to see if it is indeed the real one. i dont know why you are not doing it.
TS does not leave all the mod list attached on the ECU like the pic he sent. What a scam artist.

I'm assuming its a TS.You can see the daughter board added to the ecu.That's the small circuit board that you flipped up.Technosquare doesn't label anything like JWT does.Just plug it in.You can do that without even taking out the other ecu just unhook the plug from the old ecu and plug it into this one.The wires will be stiff but you should be able to bend them around to plug up the new ecu just to see if it works.Good Luck.

i got a hold of paypal regarding my problem and they did not help me at all.
They said they only guarantee if you buy it from ebay, outside of ebay they are not responsible.
Im so furious......
